We checked out from  APA Hotel Shinjuku Kabukicho Tower  around 11am and left our luggage at the reception area before we walked over to Ichiran ramen to have our brunch. Ichiran ramen is just 3 minutes (210m) walking distance from  APA Hotel Shinjuku Kabukicho Tower . The ramen is so good that we have to go there a second time. The first time we had it was on our 2nd day in Shinjuku for supper. You can read all about it by clicking this link " Tokyo - Day 2 ".

We were a bit disappointed when we saw the menu because almost 80% of the food were raw. Since neither of us eat uncooked seafood, we have very limited selection. The waitress can't speak English and it's a bit difficult to communicate with her. Luckily she has a translator device but somehow there's still some communication gap. We ordered s eafood Miso soup, salmon teriyaki, s ea eel grill without seasoning and boiled prawn. Salmon is fresh but they gave us the head portion which we're not good at eating it. Grilled sea eel is nice but there's a lot of small bones in it. My favourite is the boiled prawn. Rice is nice and fluffy. Most importantly the prawn is fresh. Overall, lunch was just okay.
